    CND LED lamp + The Gel Bottle Inc

    Can anyone advise me on the proper cure time with CND LED lamp and the gel bottle inc polish?? I can't seem to find a thread for it on here. Which of the buttons do you use with the CND led lamp to cure each layer? I don't want to under or over cure this product as I'm used to using CND Shellac...

    Tanning % pictures

    This is a good thread for you, tons of photos - http://www.salongeek.com/threads/lets-see-your-tan.176691/ I've been using Crazy Angel for about 2 years and I really like it, has a nicer smell than most tans. Guide colour isn't too dark so no one leaves looking scary and it develops nicely...

    Spray tan technique?

    I prefer to start from the back not the front, I find clients are more comfortable with this especially if they naked so they can get used to it before facing me. 1. Back of neck in a X shape, down back and back of legs. 2. Back of arms. - Client turns to side, furthest leg away from me...

    Crazy Angel tan intensifying drops?

    I have a client who usually has 13% but wants darker. I've just bought the take me higher intensifying drops, the instructions say 3-5 drops or 5 or more for darkest.

    CND Shellac Xpress5 Top Coat problem?

    I've just used my top coat (been using on regular clients to test out) and it looks yellow! I used it on Creekside and it made the nail look a dirty tea stained yellow colour. I've used it around 5 times now and this is the first time I've noticed it look yellow. I had to wipe it off and use the...

    Lashbase glue drying out

    Can anyone give any tips on storage for lash base glue? I've just checked my bottle and nothing is coming out, tried to open the neck of the battle and it's stuck. I can't see any dried glue in the pourer so I don't know why it's dried up. I don't do lashes that often so I'm wondering if that...

    Best coral glitter?

    I'm on the hunt for a nice coral glitter powder for Rockstar nails with CND Shellac. I own so many glitters but some how I don't own a coral/orange which I think will finish off my collection nicely. Can anyone recommend one? Pictures would be great too! Thank you xx

    Pricing help for Gel II clients

    I would take a small percentage off what you usually charge but I wouldn't discount by too much. I have never done a booking that large on my own and if I did it would be a lot of work to do by yourself especially as it is your first gel clients you will be with them for a number of hours not...

    How do you swatch your Shellac colours?

    These are mine, I've used so many different display methods but I think this is working best for me now. wheels - kids always get their hands on them and they break, also not good for switching out colours. pop display stands - took up too much room on the desk. Removable nail square thing...

    Your favourite Additives?

    I think they will eventually sell sizzling sand individually, you can buy open road collection separately now so I have a feeling possibly next autumn or winter they'll allow us to purchase individually. Fingers crossed as its my fave 😍

    Mundo de Unas

    Having a bit of trouble with my mini orange polish, it's very thick and almost clumpy. None of the stammers I own pick up the image properly when I use this colour.

    Garden Muse Shellac collection

    Like them all but I am dying for a non metallic or non shimmery teal!! And as for them adding two old colours to the collection to show what colours work well with them is a weird thing to do, I'm sure we can see what colours compliment each other without being told or being added to a new...

    CND Shellac pricing?

    I charge £2 extra for Rockstars or additives. Doesn't matter how many nails I do, 1 a fade or all 10 I just add £2 on top of my shellac price. Nail art varies depending on what it is, time, products etc. Konad - 50p per nail Something simple like polka dots I'll do as 50p per nail if it has...
